Overview

We will see the most famous attractions in Seoul!

These are the most important and popular spots in Seoul among not only tourist but also local people. This will be full of history and modern culture. If you like to know about Korea, I believe this should be the one for you. :)

We will start from Jogyesa temple and Insadong area.
After Gwanghwamun squre we will move to Gyeongbokgung palace. It was the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty. For me this is the most beautiful, and it remains the largest of all five palaces.

We will stroll around in the palace and move to Cheyongwadae (Blue house). The street was blocked and recently opened. This hidden area is quite and has nice views of mountains surrounding Blue house.

We will walk though Tongin traditional market and visit Seochon Hanok village! The village has lots of Korean traditional houses, Hanok and nice cafes.

You can enjoy all of these during the tour.
Don't miss this out! I'm sure you will like it.

If you want to see the city and learn the history this is the tour you should join. She is very kind and knowledgeable. From the temple to the Hanok village, i enjoyed every place she showed. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to know about the country!
It was a perfect experience!

I came to Seoul on a business trip and didn’t have much time to explore the city. During the tour, we visited many places and I learned a lot about Korea! Lee is very friendly and fun to talk with. The temple and palace were beautiful. And the market and traditional village were so special and different than the other parts of Seoul. At the end of the tour, we had Korean traditional tea and it was fantastic. When I come back to Korea, I’ll join her other tours! I highly recommend it.
Excellent tour and experience!

I’m in Seoul for a temporary work assignment and I wanted a tour that visited some top landmarks and was also still efficient. This was exactly the tour I was looking for. The time we spent in each place was just right and learned more than I would have otherwise about the sites. The guide was also very warm and an excellent navigator. One of the best tours I’ve been on during my time here in Seoul and highly recommend this guide! Would do it again if I had more time!
